Watching these guys debate is quite funny..... They were praising Trump for putting the churchill bust back in the white house...


Why are they concerned about immigration policies of a foreign country? UK nationals will be fine.

They are concerned about the status of British citizens who are dual nationals of the countries concerned or who may have visited one of them.

Also, there are plenty of non-US related political points being made.

Worth noting that the Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, is a dual US/UK citizen.

I find it funny because they said that when Obama came and told them not to leave the EU they did the opposite and thanked Obama for doing that LOL.

Then they said its our country's affair and none of their business....

There is already a VISA required for Iran from U.K. To USA. My realtor from the U.K. told us because she's from Iran.

But not if they hold dual UK/Iranian citizenship.

If you listen to Boris, he has made it clear that US immigration policy is the business of the US. His concern is to protect British citizens in that context. The rest is all politics and grandstanding.

Just like the US, they also have citizens and residents who were born in those countries. This member of Parliament was born in Iraq.

Donald Trump ban debated in UK Parliament - CNN.com
They had to debate that. In the British system, if you get enough signatures on a petition, 100,000, Parliament has to debate the object of the petition. There was never any danger of Trump actually being banned.

I watched them debate and they said they secured visas or expedited entry to any of those born in another country and hold dual citizenship.
